NBA roundup: Sixers sock Cavs

Evan Turner had 19 points and nine assists to lead the 76ers over the reeling Cleveland Cavaliers, 86-79, Sunday night at Philadelphia.

Spencer Hawes and Jrue Holiday each added 14 points for the Sixers, who've won two straight and 5-of-7.

Alonzo Gee scored 17 and Anderson Varejao and Tristan Thompson had 14 apiece for Cleveland, which has lost six in a row.

Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters combined for 14 points on 6-for-27 shooting. They came in averaging a combined 39.1 points — the league-best for a starting backcourt.

The Cavaliers had won eight of their last 10 games in Philadelphia, a stretch that began when LeBron James was the King of Cleveland.

For nearly three quarters, it seemed the Cavaliers would continue their successful run. But the Sixers started pulling away late in the third.

THUNDER 119, WARRIORS 109 (at Oklahoma City) — Kevin Durant notched his first career triple-double with 25 points, 13 rebounds and a career-high 10 assists to lead Oklahoma City to the win.

The three-time NBA scoring champion has endured some growing pains this season trying to improve his floor game, with a bump in his assist number coinciding with an increase in his turnovers. He came in averaging four turnovers per game, the fourth worst in the league.

He turned it over just twice in this one.

Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 22 points and David Lee chipped in 19 points and 10 rebounds.

PISTONS 103, CELTICS 83 (at Auburn Hills, Mich.) — Greg Monroe had 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Pistons to their first home win of the season.

The Pistons (2-9) had blown double-digit leads in each of their first three home games, but never seriously were threatened by Boston down the stretch. The Celtics, playing their fourth game in five nights, hit only four three-pointers and trailed by as many as 22.

D'Antoni delays debut

Mike D'Antoni is postponing his debut on the Los Angeles Lakers' bench, giving the coach a few more days to recover from recent knee replacement surgery.

D'Antoni was tentatively planning to take over Sunday night against Houston, a week after the Lakers hired him to replace Mike Brown.
